This year for my birthday Sandy made reservations at the Bodega Bay Lodge. We could only stay 1 day but it was so relaxing. Their restaurant, the Duck Club was excellent. I had a superb lamb shank and Sandy had the sole in parchment paper, neither of which gave us diarrhea. The next morning we …

Samage
Just on a whim I asked if I could shoot Sam. Bill quickly brought him over.
Canine Model Shoot
Did our regular thing. Got Koa, lather rinse repeat, pick up her crap & shoot portraits. I wanted to get some grossly distorted wide angle shots, but she had other things on the agenda. She’s such a princess.
Buggy
I’ve been sick all week and I’m going crazy with nothing to do… Got some bugs from the backyard an asked if I could shoot a few portraits of them. They graciously agreed. This is so hard to get sharp focus as my eyesight is horrible these days.
Happy Valentines Day 2015

Grandma Maeda

Splash Fotoz
Sandy wuz away for the weekend so I decided to give myself an assignment. Splash photography has always looked cool to me, but I’ve never tried it. I’ve recently bought a triggertrap remote so in theory it should be really easy… Ok it wouldn’t show video on my camera, doh! Gotta do it the old …
Teddy Weddy
Last Saturday we had the honor of witnessing the wedding of Teddy & Christine. The ceremony was held at the Chapel of Our Lady in the Presdio. I figured this would be a good test for A6000.
Koa Portraits
During a Koa dogsitting adventure I decided to test my 2 new cameras. The photo on the left is from the Canon G7X and the photo on the right is from the Sony A6000.
